Madonna posts photo of son, 13, holding bottle of alcohol

Madonna, the Miley Cyrus of 30 years ago, apparently isn't ready for that upstart to get ALL the attention.

The 55-year-old singer posted a photo on Instagram of her 13-year-old son Rocco holding a bottle of gin.

He's surrounded by two other boys also clutching bottles of booze. It was captioned, "The party has just begun! Bring it! 2014"

Of course, this has prompted all sorts of righteous indignation.

I don't know. Just because a few boys are holding bottles of booze doesn't necessarily mean they are drinking it, right?

I will say that this probably isn't the smartest photo for Madonna to post, simply because it was sure to cause outrage. But this is Madonna, so that's really the point, right?

Although lots of folks are upset, Madonna has her fair share of defenders, too. One of my favorite comments on her Instagram site is this one: "My then teen sister took a picture of my 9-year-old other sister holding a lit cigarette while wearing a formal dress. It's one of the funniest family pictures we have. This is a joke, give it a rest."

And Madonna's response to the drama? "No one was drinking we were just having fun! Calm down and get a sense of humor! Don't start the year off with judgement!"

The real question is: What is Miley plotting to grab the attention back from Madonna??
